About YouTube Shorts Redirect

A super small extension that redirects YouTube Shorts links from their native player to the standard YouTube video watch mode. Useful if you want to watch a specific short without doomscrolling afterwards. Full source code available at: https://github.com/vivanvv/yt-shorts-redirect. Update (24/04/26): Redirected Shorts links now preserve smooth Back and Forward navigation.
